Chapter Ninety-Nine: Gossip
After Cheng Enci left Zhuo's house with his daughter, he didn't want to go home at this time.
He lowered his head and discussed with Cheng Kejia and said, "Jia'er, Daddy will take you out to eat, okay?" β
Cheng Kejia looked at him with a happy look on his face and said, "Okay." Daddy, you take me to eat something delicious, don't you? β
Cheng Enci looked at the happy look on his daughter's face, he smiled and bent down to hug Cheng Kejia and said, "Okay." β
Cheng Kejia smiled and discussed with Cheng Enci and said: "Daddy, you hold Jia'er for a while, you have worked hard, you put Jia'er down, Jia'er can go by herself." β
Cheng Enci only felt that his daughter was too sensible, so he smiled and agreed.
Cheng Enci didn't want to call a carriage, he thought about it, as long as he walked through two more streets, he would go to the bustling market, and he would carry his daughter away.
Pedestrians came and went on the street, and Cheng Enci walked with his daughter in his arms, and when he didn't realize it, it also became a street scene.
Cheng Enci's father and daughter are very comfortable, and Cheng Enci's father and daughter finally walked to the bustling market.
Cheng Enci saw the bustling street in front of him, one after another opened the door of the shop, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Along the way, he saw most of the shops that were closed for the Chinese New Year.
He was secretly worried that he and his daughter would not be able to find a restaurant where they could eat.
Cheng Enci looked at the shops on both sides of the street, and there were not many shops that could provide choice.
He looked at Cheng Kejia, who was full of interest, and said with a smile: "Jia'er, you pick a shop, and we will go in to eat." β
Cheng Kejia looked at him Cheng Enci, she smiled and said, "Daddy, is that one okay?" β
Cheng Enci remembered his daughter's age, and he hurriedly added a sentence: "Jia'er, only the restaurant teahouse can allow people to go in to eat." β
Cheng Kejia nodded gently, she looked at the streets on both sides, and she still used her little nose to smell the smell vigorously.
Cheng Enci saw the smile on her face, and he quietly reminded his daughter: "Jia'er, you are too obvious, and you are not a puppy." β
Cheng Kejia raised her eyes and smiled a little embarrassedly at Cheng Enci, she looked at every store decorated with a joyful faΓ§ade, and felt that the food inside must be delicious.
Cheng Kejia looked around, her little finger pointed at the shop full of red lanterns in front of the door, and said, "Daddy, go to that one." β
After Cheng Enci took a look, he saw that it was a restaurant.
He didn't object, he just wondered why his daughter chose that shop.
He asked Cheng Kejia with a smile: "Jia'er, did you decide to go to that store?" β
Cheng Kejia nodded vigorously and said, "Daddy, let's go, there are many lanterns in that shop." β
Cheng Enci raised his eyes and saw that the door of the shop was indeed full of lanterns, and from a distance, it looked like a shop selling lanterns.
Cheng Enci took his daughter to pass by two or three shops that had been prosperous and well-known for many years, and he would always look down to observe Cheng Kejia's expression.
After seeing Cheng Kejia looking inside from the door of the store, her eyes were full of surprise, and she saw that the tables in the store were compactly arranged, and there were many adjacent customers, who were almost eating back to back.
Cheng Kejia raised her head and whispered to Cheng Enci: "Daddy, let's not go to a store that is too crowded." β
After Cheng Enci followed and looked inside, after listening to Cheng Kejia's child's words, he laughed and said, "Okay, let's not go." β
Father and daughter squeezed through the crowd and came to the shop with lanterns hanging under the eaves.
They got closer and looked up, only to see that there was still a suitable distance between the lanterns.
The appearance of the father and daughter looking up at the lantern in front of the store is almost the norm in this shop.
The shopkeeper sat inside and thought with some pride, his own small proprietor still has some skills, and if he hangs a few more lanterns this year, the business will be much better than in previous years.
Cheng Enci took a look at the hidden furnishings under the lantern, and Cheng Kejia looked at the lantern carefully.
Only when you look closely, this row of lanterns looks the same size and color, but the patterns on them are different when you get closer.
The more Cheng Kejia looked, the more he felt that the shopkeeper was a very interesting person, and he painted the joy of the family on the lantern, and the special focus was that everyone was dining.
Cheng Kejia pointed her little finger up, and she smiled and said to Cheng Enci, "Daddy, let's go in too." β
Cheng Enci took his daughter's hand and entered the store, the shopkeeper was a little surprised, he originally thought that the father and daughter were coming to see the excitement, but they were sincere guests.
After Cheng Enci's father and daughter entered the store, the father and daughter took a look at the full house, and Cheng Kejia pouted and said, "Daddy, people, it's full." β
Hearing her words at the shopkeeper's counter, he hurriedly smiled and said, "We have a seat upstairs, and the guest officer can sit upstairs." β
After Cheng Enci nodded lightly, the shopkeeper hurriedly called the second junior in the store to take the position.
Cheng Enci looked at the height of the stairs, and he bent down to hold his daughter in his arms.
When Cheng Enci's father and daughter went upstairs, they still attracted the attention of the guests downstairs.
During the Chinese New Year, there are few cases like Cheng Enci's father and daughter who come out to eat, and their father and daughter are almost a special example.
Cheng Enci has been doing his own thing since he was a child, and he doesn't care much about other people's young master's temperament, so he can put aside the face of the children of the family and go to do an errand as a guard.
When Cheng Enci was a guard, his boss didn't think he was optimistic about him, he just thought that he was here to mess around, and when he knew that it was not easy for the guard, he would automatically resign.
His colleagues initially welcomed him openly, but secretly excluded him, fearing that he would not be able to take care of things, and that he would have a lot of things to do.
As a result, Cheng Enci persevered, and the relationship between him and his colleagues was good.
His boss also felt that if he continued to run outside, it would be a waste of Cheng Enci's knowledge.
Cheng Enci didn't want to change to an internal job at first, he felt that a good man still needed to work hard.
His boss told him very bluntly that the errand of the guard, every year, there are new people entering, and the old people go to the back, if they can't be promoted, they will have to retire and go home to recuperate because of various injuries.
Cheng Enci now has the opportunity to transfer to an internal position, and if he has the heart, he can find more placement opportunities for those colleagues.
Cheng Enci didn't dare to bear this false name, he explained to his boss very sincerely: "My lord, I am the sister-in-law of the Cheng family, but if I am really valued at home, they will never allow me to be a guard."
I am grateful for my brothers, I can only do my best, but I can't say that I can do my best. The affairs of our family are generally arranged by the elder branch. β
After Cheng Enci's boss heard what he said, he felt that Cheng Enci was worth taking a second look.
After Cheng Enci turned into internal affairs, the three old ladies of the Cheng family breathed a sigh of relief, the two of them didn't want to see their son relying on physical strength to do errands.
Zhuo also quietly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, since Cheng Enci became a guard, her mother's family has also listened to a lot of gossip.
The old lady of the Zhuo family naturally wouldn't mention those gossips to her daughter, but the people next to the Zhuo family, when they met the Zhuo family, their mouths were full of disgust.
Everyone thinks that Zhuo's family is not prosperous, a good child of a family, he can't do anything well, and he even goes to be a guard that only rough people do.
Zhuo's naturally wouldn't tell Cheng Enci these gossips, and besides, she knew in her heart that she was just saying to Cheng Enci, and he wouldn't care about those gossip.
